Get over it
There's no "it" to get over.
My priorities have already been endorsed - over a period of nearly 2 & a half years now. It's your argument that got trashed.
The "demise" you so often spoke of back then never came to pass. Development, community participation, mining participation, marketcap, media interest, you name it all grew and continue to do so. Not to mention the establishment of a 4000 strong, collateralised active node network valued at nearly $12000 a pop which are in ever increasing demand and short supply.
Look yourself in the mirror and that advice might be vaguely relevant

Before you get too self-congratulatory, there are at least 19 coins that outperformed dash in 2016--most more than doubled dash's performance and moved up the marketcap ratings, not down.
